HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Because of her, I was a daughter....(1971)

and a little sister....(1952)and a Mother....(1978)2009.....and a Gram....(2008)Because of my Mother, I have a love for the church and faith in God to sustain me through all that life throws my way, a love of art and music, a strong work ethic, a love of flowers, a need to hoard and a quirky sense of humor. She taught me the value of friendship and the importance of loyalty. There are so many things I wish I could tell her. I miss you Mom!

Because of them.....

I am blessed to be a wife, mother, step-mother, mother-in-law, grandmother.

You know me...I LOVE old photographs and these are just wonderful. I can tell your mom was amazing, just from her photo here. By the way, I got curious after you wrote me about the Joyce Paperdoll your sister had before you were born. So I googled 'Joyce Paperdoll', and there were several links to buy a set called Judy and Joyce. You've probably done the same already, but thought I would pass this along just in case.Have a wonderful Mother's Day.

...what abundant wonderfulness that was passed down from her to you and then filtered down to me is something i hold near and dear to my heart & soul every day of my life...i'm blessed to have had such dynamic influences in my life...

...now if i only still had those pants from the 1st day of school picture...good to see my sense of style was so developed even back then...
